Hello all, it's a pleasure to join the MAX community! I am new to MAX jitter, and I found this tutorials are describing something very similar to what I want to do for my project. https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/tutorials/jitterchapter28 I would like to track the amplitude of a live audio and use it to trigger/control video effects. However, the screens […]

okay, so i´ve created a bunch of v7 prototypes for bpatcher programatically - and now of course they do not load. i am getting "bad magic number". don´t get me wrong, i really like magic numbers and stuff. but can i please be inaugurated to this sort of magic? things which hide from the user are not so useful. yeah i know, it is probably on page 17 […]

Today, we released Benjamin D. Smith’s exciting new Machine Learning package for Max, ml.star. Machine Learning is a hot topic these days, but it can be tough to figure out where to get started if you aren’t a researcher in the field. For the beginners among us, there are some good example patchers to be found in the package along with lots of documentation. […]

I have a fresh install of macOS High Sierra (64bit), with fresh installs of Live 9.7.4 (64bit) and Max 7.3.4. M4L devices insist I'm using the wrong version of Max, and that a 32bit version is loaded with Live. I've already tried to completely uninstall/reinstall, noting the warning about leaving Live's DMG mounted while installing Max. Intere […]

Just in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread and isn't aware of the change introduced in 7.3.2, our wishes have been granted. https://cycling74.com/forums/max-7-3-2-released "Max: 'clearmaxwindow' message to Max" Also, does anyone else notice that, lately, when clicking in the reply text entry form here, that the page scrolls t […]

Or, for anyone familiar with the 'clear clip meters' shortcut in Pro Tools... Option+c will clear the max window. I use a template and just added this in a subpatch with some other shortcut/workflow stuff so it is always there when I start working on a new patch.

Okay so I've been crazy busy at work lately, but I've been burning the midnight oil and made some progress on this. I now have LCD set up to paint a framearc extending outwards around a dial using the angle of the click from the center of the LCD as the starting point. I wanted to do it this way as it fits my workflow best (dial a control in, estim […]

thats a lot of issues :D 1. honestly, if you want to have full control over the math to make a dial which can be acumlated to with the mpouse, i wouldnt use something like live.dial at all, which is very specific already, and most people dont even get it to work for what it was made for. 2. that really depends. from what i see here, limiting the relative mou […]

It seems there's a solution very coming soon: https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/5/15743274/apple-external-gpu-vr-development-macos-high-sierra-wwdc-2017 This with a Thunderbolt 3 iMac should work well. With a iMac Pro, it should actually run my lab. Hope this helps. ck

Are there any other pitfalls in sierra which prevent Java8 from Max working in Max? Java8 is installed, 32-bit unchecked but loading a java 8 built external still fails with "unsupported major.minor version 52.0" The external works on my Mavericks 10.9 machine [e] It always works. Post on the forum and immediately solve the problem yourself. The mi […]

Thanks everybody for the additional replies. A few responses: 1) I learned about the UDP broadcast option (255.255.255.255) through your replies. Thanks for that! 2) Roman - I agree that adding Java dependency needlessly complicates things. This is a project that would have 2-4 computers, so broadcast may be the right way to go. 3) Florent - That application […]
